Wait, it's all over?

Not sure where the school year went, but here we are at the end of another crazy year!
Krystian ended the year with "outstanding attendance"... she missed 1 day of school the entire year, and it just happened to be 3 days before the school year ended.
Kayla finished her last year of junior high... sniffle, sniffle, tear, tear... I'm totally in denial that she's heading off to high school. In my mind she's still 6 years old. :)
Cammy finished the school year with straight A's... YAY Cammy!!! She also received an award for Outstanding Scholarship (she had to maintain an A- average or better for the entire year to receive this). Way to go Camerson!!!The school year ended with field day, a Goldilocks and the 3 bears operetta, and a few tears.

Krystian and her bff Evelyn enjoying field day...
Cammy showing off her "almost done with 6th grade" pose...
A water-fight is all fun and games until...
...your make-up gets all messed up!
The 2nd grade performance of Goldilocks and the 3 bears...
Krystian was a Mama Bear.
Krystian and her mama...
Krystian and the "young handsome Brad" as Krystian calls him...
Here's to 6th grade... here's to bff's... here's to movin' on...
Cammy, Melanie, Alicia and Haidyn
For the 6th graders, it was a bitter-sweet ending. Not only are they off on new adventures as they head off to junior high, but this is the last time they will see their elementary school... a new school is under construction as we speak. I think that made for an even more emotional ending.
The second grade wrote good-bye to Woodstock messages all over the sidewalks. We've been "Wolverines" since Kayla was in second grade, so watching the school be re-built is a happy yet sad moment. But as we all know... when one door gets demolished, another new, shiny door takes it's place (or something like that). :)
Here are some fun pics from the last day of school...

Remember...

that one time when we laughed so hard we peed our pants.
that one time when you stuck gum behind your ear like Violet on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
that one time when we cuddled up and watched the Notebook.
that one time when you wrote a letter to Chick-fil-a telling them they should raise the height restrictions to the play land because you were too tall to play in there... I still have that letter.
that one time when we danced in the rain in Florida.
that one time when you made me breakfast in bed.
that one time when I made you "kid tea"... I still have your text that says "mmm mom... your kid tea is good (:".
that one time when we went running together and I almost died because I couldn't keep up with you.
that one time where we went for a drive through the mountains and talked for hours.
that one time when we skipped through the mall holding hands and didn't care who saw us.
that one time when we tried on prom dresses for no reason.
that one time when you sent me a text during class asking me who Tom Cruise was and I thought you were cheating on a quiz. You weren't cheating, but replied "Duh mom... what kind of quiz asks who Tom Cruise is???"
that one time when we ate so much candy we made ourselves sick.
that one time when you played me my favorite hymn on your violin.
that one time when I picked you up from school in the middle of the day and we went out for Chinese food.
that one time when I rode on a zip-line.
that one time when you built a tree house at the canal... all by yourself.
that one time when you helped me with an idea for one of my design school projects.
that one time when you made a pillowcase for me.
that one time when we laughed, then cried, then laughed again.

Remember that one time when...
